Qubed

  • Delivering cutting-edge characterization infrastructure for quantum device materials
  • An integrated platform enabling high-frequency, cryogenic, thermal, and optical characterization
  • Defining rigorous evaluation benchmarks for quantum materials — driving supply chain readiness

Quantum Component Characterization Services

Realizing large-scale quantum computers demands high-performance components — from wiring and amplifiers to connectors and beyond. Establishing a reliable supply chain for these quantum materials requires both a robust evaluation infrastructure and clearly defined benchmarks.
Qubed is a characterization platform designed to assess the high-frequency, cryogenic, thermal, and optical properties of materials and components for quantum computers — lowering the barrier for diverse technology companies to enter the quantum industry.

High-Frequency Component Characterization

  • Precise component evaluation in a simulated quantum computing environment using a tandem refrigerator
  • Calibrated microwave measurements across 4K to 300K temperature ranges via high-frequency switching
  • S-parameter measurements and time-domain analysis up to 26.5 GHz
  • Simultaneous multi-port evaluation with up to 8-port high-frequency measurement capability

Dilution Refrigerators & Qubit Control Systems

  • Experimental infrastructure for quantum device research
  • A scalable equipment lineup tailored to the size of target devices
  • Large-scale systems supporting up to 1,000 qubits

Cryogenic Evaluation Testbed

Characterizing superconducting qubits and similar devices requires ultra-low-temperature environments and high-speed microwave control systems. Access to such infrastructure and expertise can be a significant barrier for new entrants.
Qubed provides a fully equipped experimental environment — including dilution refrigerators and qubit control systems — to support the quantum ecosystem through collaboration across industry, academia, and government.
